Daniel Berry

Daniel Berry is an Associate Professor in the Division of Nutritional Sciences at the College of Human Ecology, Cornell University. His research focuses on adipose tissue biology and systemic metabolism, particularly the role of adipose stem cells in adipocyte generation under nutrient stress and environmental conditions.

Dr. Berry's educational background includes:

• Bachelor of Science in Biology (Environmental Science concentration) from the State University of New York at Cortland
• Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular Nutrition from Case Western Reserve University
• Postdoctoral training in the Department of Developmental Biology and the Division of Endocrinology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

His research group employs a genetic approach to study how adipose stem cells regulate adipose tissue development, homeostasis, obesogenic expansion, and thermogenesis. They investigate communication between adipose stem cells and their niche/microenvironment, and how other tissues control adipose stem cell dynamics. Key areas include white/brown/beige adipose stem cell niches, muscle development and regeneration, and nutrient regulation of adipose stem cells.
